Hi,

Thanks for all the tips and your blog !

After the last update of tonight (i think the kernel was updated), my 1501 is able to read&write an SD Card with feisty beta. It was mounted automatically. I haven't done anything else so I bet it will work for everyone.

Best regards,

Ogo

Normally I don't use beta software but Feisty seems so good that I can't wait 2 weeks until it comes out!!!

I just installed Feisty this morning fresh and to get Beryl working I simply did:

sudo aptitude install beryl emerald-themes

done.

I'm loving Feisty so far. Two more weeks for release!

Yah, I meant to say ATI drivers, but once they installed the max res I could use was 1024x768! Then I disabled the restricted driver and it wouldnt boot up so I just reinstalled once more haha.

Seth thats why it's called a beta lol

I reinstalled Feisty and the AMD drivers installed from the Restricted Drivers list, weird.

Definitely update us if you figure anything out about Beryl :)

yeah i used the ndiswrapper 1.41 too,wonder why your ati driver isn't installing. You can use the ati driver guide to do it manually. Beryl isn't working for me at all. Tried ten different ways.

2007-04-01T01:18:00.000-05:00

I got the WIFI drivers install no problem, just used ndiswrapper-1.41 instead of 1.32 that the guide shows. Works with WPA right out of the box once installed :)

For the Ati restricted drivers, I go there and click the box for enable, I click on Enable Driver, but nothing happens, it still doesnt have a check in the "Enable" or "In Use" boxes.

And any luck on Beryl? Havent tried that one yet :)

Jesus your post confuses me. 6.1 for feisty fawn beta? Did you install edgy then upgrade to Feisty? ndiswrapper works great just like it did in Edgy. It not the easiest thing to do but all you have to do is take it slow and follow my guide. I just used to get it working on my Dell 1501.

I followed your guide to get 6.1 installed for Feisty Fawn Beta. I got wireless working but only with iwconfig and had to run dhclient seperately.

Have you gotten NEtworkManager to work with Feisty Fawn?
